Hey @simmythesim,
I did some testing but could not reproduce the issue, but am on a machine that is a bit better than yours. Will try on a couple other machines when I get the chance.
As for CPU usage: If you are looking at the single number reported by the Windows Task Manager that is not telling you the full story since the game is running on multiple cores, and the single number is an aggregate. If you grab something like process explorer, it will allow you to see each core's utilization.

@SimGuruModSquad, is this relevant? I investigated the threads of the game in Process Explorer. I'm not that much of a programmer though. Anyway, here's the results:
It seems that the most of the actual simulation is on one thread, which is the second one in the list.

Whenever the simulation stops, the thread seems to change its status from "Running" to "Wait:UserRequest".

This change of status occurs every time the simulation stops for seemingly no reason.
